Champions Online played like it was designed for 360. It was shit.
MMOs can work on console, you just have to limit what you do with them to accommodate the pad, just like any other genre. If you're gonna start plugging in keyboards and everything that goes with that, then you might as well be playing a PC MMO in the first place.
I started reading and then I thought "this guy must be a troll!" then I saw the post count and a Moderator telling us not to bash. He is a fun killer so poo to him.
I've never played an MMO on a console but, they should just do one that works. Port me Maple Story and throw it on XBLA plz

Here's the issue with that theory. Money. A lot of people, like myself, can't afford putting down 1.5k on a kick-ass rig, but since a console offer nearly the same performance for a much lower cost, it's a more attractive thing for a lot of people. And let's be honest, it's not impossible. People just need to explore ways to do it well.

Well no, a console won't offer anything like the performance of a "1.5k" PC, but that's irrelevant. You just don't need a "kick-ass rig" to play MMOs. They're usually designed to work on fairly typical family computers, because they know that's all that a lot of their potential audience has.
You're right that it isn't impossible to make a popular console MMO, but when it does happen, I really doubt it's going to be designed around a keyboard.
